Ben & Sally
Sally & I have joked for years ( I feel like we have anyway ) about one day doing photos for her. I first met Sally at a Christian Youth Conference when I was a buff 17 year old… and Sal would give me massages whilst we sat in the church! She would sit in the pew behind…. anyhow.. here I am now taking her engagment pics!
I also remember times sitting in McDonalds screaming out from across the shop screaming back and forth, “i’m funnier than you are”.
Sal & I also have a song.. “would you be my girl” by Jet. Apparently Ben & Sally don’t have a song yet. I can lend the song to Ben if he would like?
So.. as far as I know, there is no beach in Armidale yet, so this was taken in Coffs, this morning at sunrise on Diggers Beach.
I travelled to Coffs last night, and went to Coffs Camera House and borrowed a 45mm tilt shift lens! I’ll explain those pics when they come along..
Then this morning after the shoot, Antony Hands, Scott Carle and myself went for breakfast
With the risk of coming across like a real egotistical maniac… don’t these pics rock? I am so proud!

p.s. Leave me comments. Yes, that means you. I’m like a busker.. I will glare at you and point you out from the crowd if you don’t put money in my hat.
…yes you totally rock!! Love these images

WOW….OMG….& COOL
I now love tilt shift!!!
Looks like lotsa fun to play with, so if you buy it or borrow it again, make sure you post more!
PS Let Sally know red shirt day is still a while off…
Don’t worry Graeme… I will be buying one! I’m just going to wait for a good deal on one…or for someone to mysteriously send me one as a random act of kindness. Hint hint.

Hey man, thanks again for the shoot. The photos are great. I love them (can’t say “we” as Ben hasn’t seen them yet). It’s a shame the surf was so good though… Ben was practically pining to get his board out :p
ps… it’s “Are you gonna be my girl”
I just stumbled across your site and I’m loving what I see. TS rocks! Keep it up mate!
Sorry mate, maybe next Christmas….
Is Tilt Shift like “Lens Babies”?
James - Wow! These are all so beautiful, I can’t pick a favourite. You have done an amazing job.
Congratulations to Sally & Ben.
Nice.
Despite all appearances, I am happy for you, Sal.
I was wondering about the focus on those photos when I saw them on facebook! Now I know your secret….they look fantastic, well done!
Love the pictures. They look so cute. Congratulations. You will both be happy and God will bless both of you greatly. Love you both. (even though I don’t really know ben yet)
